Who do we support?
As many of you will know, throughout the year we raise awareness and funds for two fantastic charities. Then at the end of the year we count it all up and make our charity donation. The two charities are: Ape Action Africa and Orangutan Appeal UK.
How do we fundraise for our chosen charities?
For each pizza we sell at Hangin’ Pizzeria we donate a percentage to our charities. The sausages we sell for dogs at the pizzeria and Alpine Coffee Shop also contribute to our charity donation. In addition we have numerous donation boxes dotted around the station, including on our fountains. A portion of the sales from items such as our conservation t.shirts and Jacha’s artwork add to the total amount we donate.
How much did we raise this year?
With the help of our supportive customers, we have raised a phenomenal amount this year! The grand total was £59,069.91 which is just incredible, our best year yet. A huge thank you must go to our customers for their support as without them this wouldn’t be possible. And not forgetting of course, our amazing team of staff who work incredible hard to keep the businesses running smoothly.
How does the money help?
The money we donate will make a real difference to both charities. It costs an incredible amount to keep Ape Action Africa’s sanctuary in Cameroon running each month. The money we donate will help with feeding the animals and the upkeep of the sanctuary.
Orangutan Appeal UK use donations for various projects that conserve and protect the critically endangered orangutan from extinction.
